The illustrations used in these instructions may differ slightly from the actual unit supplied.

FEATURES

1 Steam Generator Base unit

The base unit is large and should

always be positioned on a stable

work surface.

2 Water tank with Anti-Calc system

This water tank incorporates an anti-

calc cartridge which removes

limescale deposits and prolongs

the life of your iron. This is situated

inside the water tank.

3 Maximum water level indicator

Water should only be added up to

the ‘MAX’ level indication

(maximum water capacity: 1 litre).

4 Water inlet

The water tank can be removed and

filled at the sink. Do not exceed the

MAX level marking.

5 Stainless steel soleplate

This durable soleplate transfers

heat evenly during ironing to

produce professional results.

6 Steam button

Press and hold this button to

produce a continuous burst of

steam to remove stubborn creases.

The steam button will also work

when the iron is held vertically.

This is ideal for removing creases

and wrinkles from delicate fabrics

or difficult to iron items, such as

curtains.

7 Temperature settings display

The selected temperature light will

flash when iron is heating. When

the iron has reached the desired

temperature, the light will stop

flashing and light continuously.

The temperature indicator lights will

flash on and off during ironing as

the iron maintains the soleplate

temperature.

8 Temperature / Standby select

button

To set the soleplate temperature,

press the temperature select button

to cycle through the four

temperature settings.

9Steam / Power pipe

The steam / power pipe feeds

steam and power from the base

unit into the iron.

This panel allows you to set the

desired amount of steam. The

display clearly indicates when the

filter cartridge is fitted correctly and

when it needs to be changed.

11 Iron rest

The iron rest provides a stable rest

for the iron. The heat-resistant

rubber fins hold the iron securely in

place and protect the soleplate.

BEFORE USE

First time use

1 When the iron is connected to the

mains supply and the power ON/

OFF button is pressed you will

hear a single beep.

2 The heat indicator on the control

panel will light to show that the

steam generator is preheating.

3 The minimum (LOW) steam

setting is selected by default.

Select the highest setting (HIGH).

4 Press the temperature / standby

select button on the iron handle

to set the soleplate temperature

to its maximum setting.

The iron will now start to heat up

and the temperature indicator

light on the handle will flash.

When the iron has reached the

desired temperature, the light will

stop flashing and light

continuously. The iron is now

ready to use.

The temperature indicator lights

will flash on and off during

ironing as the iron maintains the

soleplate temperature.

If the iron is not up to full

temperature before you use it,

water will leak through the

soleplate. If this happens, stop

using the iron until the

temperature indicator light stops

flashing to indicate that the iron is

up to temperature again.

5 Press the steam button for 30

seconds to clean the steam

generating system.

NOTE:

You will hear a repeated

buzzing sound as the pump is

primed ready for use. The

noise will subside after a

short time. This is NOT a

fault.

6 Iron an old towel to ensure that

any residues inside the iron are

not transferred to your good

laundry.

If you find it necessary to clean

the soleplate, allow the iron to

completely cool down then wipe

over it with a slightly damp cloth.

WARNING!

During use the hot water

pipe and iron rest become

very hot, avoid contact,

especially if you have

sensitive skin.

USING YOUR IRON

Steam ironing

IMPORTANT

Ensure that the soleplate has reached the correct operating

temperature before steam ironing garments. Too low a temperature

will result in water dripping from the soleplate.

NOTE:

For correct steam operation, always ensure that the iron temperature is

set to the two dot (••), three dot setting (•••) or maximum heat setting

1 Ensure that the water reservoir has been filled.

2 Press the temperature / standby select button on the iron handle to set the

soleplate to the desired temperature. The iron will now start to heat up and

the temperature indicator light on the handle will flash. When the iron has

reached the desired temperature, the light will stop flashing and light

continuously. The iron is now ready to use.

3 Set the desired amount of steam (see page 8). Use the HIGH steam setting

when ironing thicker fabrics, such as denim or linen on the three dot setting

(•••) or maximum heat setting .

Use the LOW steam setting when ironing more delicate fabrics on the two

dot setting (••).

NOTE:

Steam should never be used on fabrics like nylon, acrylic and

synthetics.

4 When the iron is on the garment, press the steam button for a couple of

seconds. It is not necessary to hold the button down continuously, as steam

will still be emitted from the soleplate for a short time after the button has

been released.

If more steam is required, press and hold the steam button.

Always release the button and allow any residual steam to be released

before replacing the iron on its stand.

iron and the lights on again.

WARNING!

ALWAYS turn the iron off

and disconnect from the

power source after use.

NEVER leave the iron

unattended with the Auto Off

function in operation.

Anti-calc system

The anti-calc cartridge should be

replaced when the ‘change cartridge’

indicator illuminates. If a new

cartridge is not immediately available,

you may continue ironing, using

distilled water in place of tap water.

IMPORTANT

When the anti-calc

cartridge is exhausted, do

NOT continue to use the iron

with tap water as this may

damage the iron.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING!

Disconnect the unit from the

electrical mains before

cleaning.

Cleaning the Stainless Steel

Soleplate

Allow the soleplate to cool fully before

using a stainless steel or metal

cleaner, then rub gently with a damp

cloth and wipe dry.

Caution: Do not use scouring pads,

abrasive or harsh cleaners to clean

the soleplate of your iron, as these will

scratch and damage the surface.

Cleaning the Steam holes

To remove build-up from the steam

holes, which may affect steam

performance, use a cotton wool tip

moistened in methylated spirit. Wipe

over with a damp cloth.

Cleaning the Exterior

To clean the exterior of your iron, wipe

over with a damp soft cloth and wipe

dry. Ensure the soleplate is dry.

CAUTION!

Do not use harsh abrasives,

chemical cleaners, or

solvents to clean the exterior

of your iron, as these will

damage the surface.

NOTE:

We do not recommend the

addition of starches,

conditioners, proprietary

fabric fragrances or any other

chemicals to the water tank.

Such products can impair the

performance of your steam

generator.

CARE AND CLEANING

Storage

1 Always allow the iron to cool fully on the iron rest before storing away.

2 Once the iron is cool, empty the water tank and store the iron in a cool, dry,

safe place out of the reach of children. NEVER wrap the cord around the

iron, but store it coiled safely by the side of the iron. Ensure that the cord

doesn't overhang any work surface and poses no hazard.

STORAGE

1313

Cotton: iron slightly damp on the right side with a hot iron.

Linen: iron damp on the right side with a hot iron.

Silk: iron slightly damp on the right side with a warm iron.

Wool (knitted): iron dry or nearly dry on the wrong side with a warm iron or

steam.

Acrylic: iron on the wrong side with a cool iron. Do not use steam or a damp

cloth as this could cause stretching.

Nylon or Polyester: iron nearly dry on the wrong side with a cool iron to prevent

glazing.

Acetate: iron evenly damp on the wrong side with a cool iron.

How to avoid shine or iron marks

• Use a well padded ironing board (especially for wool).

• Iron garments inside out whenever possible.

• Use a press cloth such as a clean pillow case. For some fabrics, e.g. wool,

use steam or press with a slightly damp cloth, using light pressure.

• Always iron delicate fabrics, inside out on a low temperature setting.

• Keep the iron moving.

Ironing does not need to be tiring

• Stand upright when ironing and always adjust the ironing board to the

correct height (the iron handle should be at the same level as your elbow).

Experiment until you find the position that suits you best.

• Keep your elbow over the ironing board and only move your lower arm when

ironing. If you move the iron slowly it is less tiring.

• Allow the weight of the iron to do the work, do not press down unnecessarily.

HINTS AND TIPS

General Advice

WARNING!

Take care to avoid skin coming into contact with the iron’s soleplate

or steam.

Sort your washing into different temperature groups before you start ironing.

Start with the low temperature items then work your way up to those which

require a higher temperature.

Take great care when ironing clothing fitted with zips or metal studs, to avoid

scratching the soleplate.

If you are in any doubt about ironing a delicate/unusual fabric, always refer to the

garment label, iron at a low temperature and test an inconspicuous area first if

possible.

Ensure that the soleplate is clean before ironing.

Do not iron the front of t-shirts and sweatshirts which have screen-printed or

embossed graphics. Always iron inside-out on a low temperature to avoid

damage.

Avoid ironing over buttons - iron around them. Use a teaspoon to protect very

delicate fabric covered or ‘designer’ buttons.

Place embroidered items face down on a towel and iron gently on the reverse to

avoid crushing the embroidery.

Always iron collars from tip to seam to avoid pulling creases to the tip.

To minimise creasing, allow freshly ironed clothes to cool completely before

wearing, or storing away.

Always iron dark linen on the wrong side only to avoid marking.

When ironing sheets or tablecloths, you will achieve the best results if you can

set up your ironing board in front of a large table. Commence with the fabric at

your feet and, as each section is ironed, push it back onto the table. This will

minimise creasing and make the fabric much easier to handle. For best results,

iron tablecloths immediately before use to avoid creasing during storage.

HINTS AND TIPS

1515

Velvets

Velvet should be ironed in one direction only, and with a light pressure. Always

keep the iron moving. To help raise the nap, finish by holding the steam iron

above the fabric and allow the steam to penetrate without applying pressure.

Finally, shake or brush the fabric gently.

Polyester

Polyester has a very low melting point, always use a low temperature and press

gently through a cotton cloth. If you iron fabrics made of a blend of fibres, set the

temperature dial for the most delicate fibre. Never use the burst of steam on

silks or synthetics.

Lined Garments

Remember that a garment lining may require a different temperature to the

exterior fabric. Always start with a very low temperature and keep the iron

moving. Test in an inconspicuous area first if possible.
